So Nobody Died?

Well, last night was quiet the blood bath, wasn't it? At least three Heroes apperently saved NBC a lot of money by allowing themselves to be Sylared, blown-up, and J.R.'ed all in one hour. All setting up quite the cliffhanger for when ever the writers-producers-studio heads cabal come back from thier paid vacations (by know you know how I feel about this B.S. laughingly called a strike).



But before we tell you what this blog will be doing whilst we wait, our Heroes uber-fan Kristin des Santos posted some inside scoop on who flies and who dies.



Apperently, just about no one...



Three Heroes Have Fallen; So Who Will Rise? We all know Claire's blood can save the world and pretty much everyone in it, so who'll get hot the cheerleader injection (wait, that sounded dirty) and come back to the show? Based on what I'm hearing from inside sources, here's where I'd put my money...



Ali Larter: According to Heroes insiders, Niki is not expected to return to the show. But her devilish alter ego Jessica? Oh yeah, we'll see her as soon as the show comes back to the beloved airwaves, when the strike is through! At least, that's the current plan according to sources, who tell me producers had "done all they could do" with Niki. Micah is not gonna be happy. But at least he'll have Monica...




(My take: YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! It was the drop dead deadly, smartass, badass Jessica that I fell in love with in the beginning. The question is will Jessica continue to protect Micah...or will she clash with Monica. Or will they team up. If I was a bad guy in the Big Easy, that would be bad news!)









David Anders: I'd bet my beloved, signed Hiro poster that Hiro's sworn nemesis will return. (I've seen that '90s flick The Vanishing and know that people can be dug up after being buried alive! Maybe we can even get Kiefer Sutherland to do the digging like he did for Nancy Travis!) Sources tell me it's not set in stone, but that the tentative plan is for Adam Monroe to be back to torment our favorite squinty teleporter, i.e. the "carp." Here's hoping he does.





(My Take: Probably. I don't think Adam is done with Hiro..or the Heroes yet.)







Adrian Pasdar: I've heard the production and writing staff is somewhat split as to whether Nathan should return to the show when the show returns. Allow me to be the first to say WTF? Heroes without the brothers would be like Prison Break or Brothers & Sisters without the brothers: i.e., a waste of time! Surely Claire's blood can save her own father, right?! Let's say a little prayer for the older Petrelli, shall we?



(My take: I proabably think that Adrian [and Ali, too. for that matter] have been looking at history. Remember the last time someone got shot on TV during a writers strike? His name was J.R. Ewing. Larry Hagman held CBS for ransom during that perfect storm, and I uderstand they are still loading up armoured trucks to pay him.

He is also the only one of the three with not much to lose. His wife is Dixie Chick #1 Natalie Maines, he has also written a musical called Atlanta, starring his Heroes buddy Len Roberts. He doen't need to do the show. But he wants to.

Look for Pasdar to come back. Richer. Much richer.


Oh, and just so there is any doubt. Maya is gone. Thank you, God.


So what will we do here at HF? Well, there are still graphic novels to cover, Hana's e-mails to decipher, there's still that f------ strike. Not to mention some of the better...and maybe juicier...fanfics.


Oh, and so you know, Heroes WILL be back. The question is when.


Settle it now, homies.
